Shell script will not be executed

Question

I've CM12.1 on my Galaxy S3. I'm trying to set up SSHD. At the moment everything is working fine, except the last step: start the sshd demon at start-up.

The problem is that the script

/data/local/userinit.sh

will be executed, but the call in it not anymore.

Here is the script:

#!/system/bin/sh
if [ -e /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd ]
then
 log -p i -t userinit "Launching /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd--before"
 /system/bin/sh /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd
 log -p i -t userinit "Launching /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd--after"
fi

The script 99sshd is very simple, just for debugging:

#!/system/bin/sh
log -p i -t userinit "Executing /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd"

And here is the result from logcat:

userinit - Launching /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd--before

userinit - Launching /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd--after

Missing is the message:

userinit - Executing /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd

How could it happen?!

• Chris Stratton: Can you run it manually as a test?
• bangkokguy: Yes, from the terminal no problem.
• bangkokguy: ok folks, I found, that the file system isn't ready somehow: the scipt isn't there at the moment of execution. Any help from sy who knows very well the android boot process is very appreciated.
• andrew-e: this may be related.
• agc: Just a guess here, as I've no G3 to test with. This line: "/system/bin/sh /data/local/userinit.d/99sshd", wouldn't that execute 99sshd in a subshell? Perhaps that accounts for what's missing., i.e. the same way the '$x' is lost here: echo -e "x=yes\necho \$x\n" > foo ; bash foo ; echo :$x:.

init.d and userinit.d support removed from CM12 and CM13
